Good sectional

I am in the lobby of The Brattleboro Music Center waiting for Ellen while she is in her alto sectional  rehearsal.  The basses had a good rehearsal. We worked on the fourth movement of Howell’s Requiem  and The sixth movement of J. S. Bach’s Jesu Meine Freude. 

The BMC lobby

After existing for decades in a rather shabby building that the BMC rented from the local Catholic Church (shabby but sort of cozy and familiar), the BMC carried out a capital campaign and remodeled a retired school building, adding an auditorium, and creating a marvelous space for the School of Music and the various performing groups under the umbrella of the BMC, of which we are one. It is an amazing facility for a town of 15,000.
